Time for the Last Run (Part 1) Beer Edition

So after several weeks this past while of absolutely nothing interesting going on, I can finally wright a good post. The time here is quickly running out and I started the last part of my adventure this week. Lets start with the Friday before last.

Well as I said the time is coming to an end, that means it is time to think about packing. So Friday after work I started working on rolling my winter clothes and jackets. Before Long I realized I was basically done packing. I left just the things that I would not need to travel these last few weeks. Unfortunately I did have a little oversight and took down all my decorations to sort and pack. I absolutely hate blank walls and that is exactly what I have accomplished, It is driving me nuts when I'm home.

Monday started my last few days of work and boy did we work. There is a plant called Jacobs weed that grows in Germany, it is highly poisonous and causes Liver failure. Unfortunately there was a lot growing in the hay fields. So we spent 2 days pulling weeds. thank heaven that we don't have that in VA. My time at the Reiselfeilder ended on Wednesday. Leaving was bitter sweet, I actually enjoyed the time there and the friends I have made. The guys there where definitely cool people and They will be back as Tomorrow I'm headed out there for a BBQ with them.

Thursday I spent the day finishing my History course and taking the Mid-term for the Film course. It is a relief to have one course out of the way and the grade posted. However I am quite annoyed with my final grade 79.8%, why can't those .2% show back up so I can have a B in the course. But o well passing for me is all that matters. The Film course is still going which has made my travels more interesting, I've had to schedule at least 2 days a week to be home to finish the work for that course. A hassle to schedule but will add in some nice breaks, between the excitement.

Friday I spent my day on a train to Saarbrünken to meet up with Kyle and Josh to stat our last adventures. Saturday we got up early and headed to a small town called Speyer, where part one of a huge Technical museum is.

Then Sunday was Part 2 at the Sinsheim Part

Monday was a good day to rest after a whole lot of excitement. And Tuesday we headed up to Bittburg The town Josh was born in to celebrate his 24th Birthday, and get him his first beir. So we hit the brewery and ended up getting free beer. Sadly Bittburger beer is pilsner and is definetly not the best first beer. But a nice weekend overall. Now I'm back in Münster with Josh spending a few days here taking a break, and watching the Deutschland vs. USA game tonight. I'm routing for a tie so both teams move on.

The adventure is just beginning stay tuned for the updates after each part of the last ride (should be about 3).


I'm off to see the World,

Another Slow 2 Weeks

this should be the last time I have to post a two week blog. I honestly hate that the weeks have become mundane and that I'm not really doing anything worth sharing with you guys. Which in a way feels like I'm wasting time here. Given that I have felt that way since the end of February, I was still at least doing more than work. 

The reisefelder is still there and still full of birds. over the last two weeks we didn't do anything out of the norm that I have been doing. The most interesting thing over the last two weeks was helping Felix work on building a skateboard. 

Last week Scott (the tall guy from the program) came through the city with his brother, and girlfriend (of the Brother). They actually don't live to far from me in the US so it is possible that we will be meeting up in the US. We spent the evening with me leading a cultural tour through the city, showing them all the interesting sights. We ended the evening by meeting Bri and heading to the Blaue House for some drinks. 

The next day I accompanied Scott with his family to Amsterdam. It was defiantly worth a second visit. There was a lot that we discovered that I had Missed on my first trip. Unfortunately I forgot my camera and my phone was basically dead the whole trip so, no photos. 

As you guys know I have been taking some online classes and they are going well, normal boring course work there. 

So now maybe to the only truely Interesting thing from the last two weeks. 

Erikas family came up this weekend for a get together. We had 3 days of family party. They reminded me of home as they told stories throughout the night. We also had a short play preformed, I will try to upload it later. But sadly doubt you guys will be very interested, being as it is in German. 

The time is getting closer that I will leave Europe. This weekend I packed over half of my clothes and sorted some of the nick-knacks around the room. It is really hard to believe that I will be back in VA in 40 days. I have so many emotions going through me. I have made alot of plans for when I get home.

As Always,
